He’s just too good isn’t he
Did you watch R9 play? (Not being rude genuine question cos in my head he was still playing 10 years ago at his peak)Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
Not yet but I don’t see why he would be loyal to City especially after Pep goes (which looks like next season).He won't leave EPL. EPL nowadays is like Serie A in the 90s. It has 6 teams competing for the top 4 spots. Villa and Brighton are doing really well last season as well.
"I'd really value it if he just fecks off and stops playing for main rival and competing with us".I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.
I value consistency & versatility really highly - much more than technique or consistency in 1 league.
Like a GP vs a specialist doctor of a single sector/role.
Doing it in the Bundesliga and PL not enough for you?I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

yeah, just like thatI’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

He's scored plenty of goals in 4 leagues now, one of them the strongest league and the other one third strongest league. I don't see how going to the 4th strongest league would tell us anything we don't know about him.I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

What do you mean? I think he is world class.Doing it in the Bundesliga and PL not enough for you?
You really aren't bright when it comes to football.I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

Agree 100%, bus drivers are better drivers than formula 1 dudes cause they can drive cars and buses. Also if I need my car serviced I prefer the local handyman to a mechanic.I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

You never saw R9 then. He's up there already though, freak of nature.Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
He scored 8 goals in 6 games in CL for Salzburg, 15 in 13 for Dortmund and has 24 in 25 for his national team. He already has proven himself.I’d really value it if he goes and continues doing this in the La Liga & Serie A the way he is in the PL - no reason he shouldn’t.

Not many people did he was always out injuredYou never saw R9 then. He's up there already though, freak of nature.
His time with PSV, Barcelona and first 2 years with Inter was unreal. However even without his knee injuries, his longevity will be similar to Ronaldinho given his life style.Not many people did he was always out injured
Surely you mean best pure goalscorer?. As a package, R9 for 2 years of his career was the best ever. Personally, Henry at Arsenal would still be my preference in premier league.Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
He will go down as one of the best pure goalscorers ever similar to Gerd Muller whether he stays at City or moves elsewhere. But deficiencies in other aspects of his game will always prevent him from being recognised as a true GOAT candidate.What do you mean? I think he is world class.
I just think he can go even up a level up to GOATs type of talking about if he did this at some more clubs during his career like Real Madrid.
Would he be viewed the same quality of player if he did this scoring only for City for his whole entire career post 21 -
Or he did it at his first club, Dortmund, City & then a new club or league of Real Madrid aswell?
Except he didn't end his Dad's career, it's a good story but it isn't trueyeah if only keane didn’t end his dads career
i know, it was a continuation of misconceptions the post I quoted hadExcept he didn't end his Dad's career, it's a good story but it isn't true
Couldn’t say the same. If City don’t click he struggles to influence the game. He was a bit of non factor in their biggest games last season. Someone like Mbappe is much more capable of winning a game if things aren’t going his side’s way.Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
Yeah he hasn't got that dribbling ability to create chances for himself all the time, but I think we saw glimpses today of City adapting to him even more. They were more willing to hit the long ball over the top to himCouldn’t say the same. If City don’t click he struggles to influence the game.

Hopefully it will be Hojlund.With Kane gone I don't think I remember a time where there was such a distance between the best striker in the league and number 2 (whoever that might be).
Absolutely. I have never seen anything like that from any striker. I wonder how is he compared with other all time best strikers like R9, Muller, Eusebio at similar age in top level football:Best striker I've ever seen. Not including the goat freaks who were mainly wingers
I don’t know if they’re deficiencies. Pep has him playing a particular way it would appear, but he’s demonstrated in other teams that his link up play and general play is quality too.He will go down as one of the best pure goalscorers ever similar to Gerd Muller whether he stays at City or moves elsewhere. But deficiencies in other aspects of his game will always prevent him from being recognised as a true GOAT candidate.
